I would love to bring a guy like Joe Robustelli to complete our core. 6’3, 220 he looks like a future star in the making. Just stuck behind a deep and talented core. Bring him in with White, Wilson, and Demski and now we’re cooking.

Grey Cup week...lol....if being honest

White is a good receiver so it's a good signing. Now go get that big body big play guy and we're cooking.

Really interested to see how this plays out with Collaros. Condell obviously loves him from Hamilton. Targeted White 8 times a game on average when he was calling plays there. Schoen had fewer targets in 22 and 23. Bombers really lacking vertical threat in terms of guys with some catch radius who can give a QB the chance to not have to pinpoint the ball every single time.

Signing a guy with 4 consecutive 1000 yard seasons and who has remained healthy. Yup terrible signing! His receptions to targets was better then Kenny Lawler and nearly the same as KeeSean Johnson.

Boy would Jake Ceresna ever solve a lot of problems for us. He would be my target if I were KW.

Bridges is the guy I would go after next week perfect big body WR core needs

White/Demski/Pokey is a nice trio.

Awesome get. Love his fit here, still need a downfield possession guy with size. Plus dl and ol of course.

A $200,000 a year offer to promote Booster Juice+Pinacle Staffing Solutions + a Bomber contract sounds right for Ceresna.

Go get him Kyle!

part of reason why he landed with us....by time they rescinded and allowed him to be able to play....most teams were already set...so to speak...Legit talent that we lucky to have scooped Was no big issue

White is a good signing... gives us a nice top 3 in Pokey-Demski-White (in whatever order you choose)... as others have mentioned... I would also like to see an under-the-radar/under utilized guy like Shamar Bridges or Joe Robustetelli added to the group... maybe given more opportunities, one of those guys could emerge as the "next guy"....

Cant argue with his production. Nice to see Walters actually go out and get someone proven. I'd love to see some DE and DT signings.

Much better player than Nick Moore. Legit #2 receiver. Just not sure we have what we need for him or the offense to succeed. Like him and Wilson are potentially a bit redundant. Do we have anyone who is willing to block downfield? For run game, but also White/Wilson have a lot of utility in screen game. Demski is old as hell for pro football. Could be great, could fall off the cliff tomorrow. I hope we're still active in adding parts to the offense. Because we're lacking majorly at receiver and OL. Think we really have to be prepared to play at least 3 American OL. Wouldn't be the craziest thing to be active in the free agent market on American OL and we need another vet receiver, ideally more physical type who can go get the ball and work in scramble drill.

Tim White's kneel for the Rouge in the 2021 Grey Cup is the only reason we won it that year Guy has always been undercover for the Bombers

It’s definitely an upgrade over Sterns, it’s just really not the kind of player I wanted. He’s got the exact same issues Pokey does - he’s a target vacuum who has a low catch %, even lower catch % on downfield targets (White had the worst catch % in the league on targets deeper than 20 yards) and he doesn’t really bust any big plays, give us a jump ball target or take the top off a defense.

IMO you only really break the bank (overpay) for certain guys... assuming he's still in top form... Ceresna would be one of those guys Ceresna, cheap receiver, OL would be my free agency wishes... fill the rest of the roster with recruits and Canadians.

no. In fact they're going to only play with 9 guys on the field because they can't afford to pay anyone else.

Ceresna is straight up nasty. If we’re going to continue the rush 3/4 at the quarterback we need some big boys that are going to get through the interior quick. Ceresna is that guy. Par him with Lawson and all of a sudden I think you’ll see more opportunities from our ends.

I think it`s more likely that Mack wanted to be back with CoFaj and we were never really in it if we were interested. Good news is that Ceresna is almost certainly going to FA now and he could help us way more than Mack.

For me, this is now on scouting.

I am happy to see the Bombers land a big free agent

I like the idea of Robustelli or Eberhardt as up and comers to add to the American group. Could be a big reward. Still think we could and should improve our Canadian receivers with Brissett.

We HAVE to move on from Schoen. He's cooked.

What is that? Can we eat it?

Would be a massive get for us. Sounds like Edmonton wants to allocate his money elsewhere, or may have already.

Does he want to leave Edmonton? He took less money than offered elsewhere to go back there a couple years ago. I know his wife works in healthcare out there and family was one of the reasons he went back. **nevermind - looks like he is willing to move. He's still hoping to work something out in Edmonton but will go to whatever team wants him. ** Jake Ceresna healthy after injury-plagued season, ready for CFL free agency - 3DownNation

Yeah White not necessarily without faults. But he should come in and be a more of a legit number 1 guy. Last year we came in with many 2-3 guys hoping that we didn't need a top flight guy and it failed. I don't think there was anyone out there that would be as impact of a signing, so we needed this.

I like the White signing, a one year....personal 1000yard guy, he will show up with something to prove, I can only assume he will have a chip on his shoulder....true not a Bailey type at all.....I am also in the camp of Robestelli, maybe even one the Riders CDN receivers..... Still don't like the Kyrie signing...again not personnel, but IMO it was the right time to move on.... As I said before I think our O line will look good this year.., For me we need more overall depth at receivers, at least one more CDN receiver with some experience, and some help along the D line I still believe this has been one of Walters best pre FA's....

He didn 't like being Number 2 behind Lawler last year & I think it affected his performance. Eberhardt would be okay.

Yep assuming everyone is healthy coming out of camp, that's better than Wheatfall/Demski and a hobbled Schoen we had our of camp last year.

Great signing, he will make Wilson and Demski better

Tim White to the Bombers on a one year deal Gotta be honest, don’t love that

Thank you., He owned an auto body shop on Marion Street for 41 years after the war to 1982 & was a master repairer. It was like he was an artist. He could take a car with twisted metal from a crash & bring it back to life. He was Old School having learned his craft ion the 1930's before the War. He taught his guys how to weld like he was taught with Old School techniques. They would be fascinated with my Dad's welding techniques as they were never taught that. They were all eager to learn. I can remember guys coming up to me when I worked at the shop & saying, "You're Dad is amazing!!" Which made me proud, Generally, he'd hire young guys out of Red River College for their first job. They'd be a "Go Fer" & learn on small jobs that the more experienced guys didn't have time to do as they were busy with bigger wrecks. They would be apprentices. These kids would gain experience & move on to better paying jobs a year or so later. My father was a wiry guy about 5'9 & 160 lbs. But he was as strong as an Ox from all the physical labour he did for 4 decades in the shop. His hands were calloused like boards. To see him just wither away with Denmentia & not be able to function was very hard. Duguid is one of my boyhood sports heroes. Along with his Third, "The Arrow" Rod Hunter. I started curling because of those two. Winning two back to back Briers, Silver Brooms & being the best team on the planet those 2 years in 1970 & 71. The Duguid rink were awesome .I don't think they ever lost a game in both Briers & world championships. May a pox befall on those that make fun of people who are ill & suffering. They never asked for whatever sicknesses they have.

I am in partial agreement, but am given to wonder if he was mostly the benficiary of a very good roster assembled by Walters. When that roster was thinned out by aging, injury and defections, O'Shea's effectiveness faded out because he was unable/unwilling to adapt.

So if your Smith or Shay, how pissed are you? I'd be pissed to know they signed an aging vet whose going to get pencilled in.

I really hope he's taking advantage of marketing money and loading some guys (ex: Willie and Brady) up with it. That would free up a bunch of cap space and it's not like the club can't afford it.

So much speculation and conjecture... Nobody knows anything. One of the only things we DO know is that Walters said we would be aggressive in FA this year, which tells me he knows he has some money to play with.

Don't care, pay the fine, make it happen. 🙂 ZC at safety would look outstanding.

I hear we can only roster 12 dudes who will all play offense, defense and STs.

Do you hear something?

hoping so...and as he doesnt have to be "the guy" can ease into it and grow

White I think offers us a lot, and expect a really good yr from him....He has big play ability and will garner attention so he makes Wilson's and Demski's job easier...Would I have preferred Mack...yeah but White was the next best consistent proven guy, who Condell will know how to use I agree with @Mike tho not the type guy we needed, that being said I fully expect the guy flying under the radar in Jahmal Banks to take over Wheatfalls spot and would be shocked he not on roster....Withe solid guys in Wilson..Demski and now White going to need attenion he can be nicely eased in and give that big downfield strike abilkity with ZC's certain contested balls, plus he can play the underneath game too

And we need help on the interior of the DL to shore it up. With Jake Thomas hogging the playimg time for years, I really don't know what we have. I do know that the DL played better as a unit when Thomas wasn't on the field.

Austin Mack

It's an upgrade over Sterns. It's helluva lot more likely that he will produce over Logan/Mitchell/Sterns did last season. Now if they can get Dunbar or Rhymes (assuming on a good deal) a tall receiver then that would be really nice. Or heaven forbid the club recruits and brings in fresh blood and gives them a chance.

Didn’t say it was a terrible signing. Just doesn’t really suit the kind of receiver I was hoping for. 5’9”, gonna be 32 years old, fits that Justin Hardy style I just don’t really think I want with the pieces we already have.
